The Initial Divorce Consultation: Determining Your Options

The old saying “knowledge is power” couldn’t be more true when you’re a man dealing with family issues. Whether you’re married and contemplating divorce or legal separation or have to post-judgment custody or parenting time issues – the first step you should take is meeting with an experienced family law attorney before making any decisions.

The initial consultation doesn’t guarantee any action. It could encourage steps to repair a relationship. A man faced with a family law problem should look at the initial consultation to gather information about all the options available to him. An experienced family law attorney should listen, explain, and strategize the potential outcomes of a possible divorce, custody dispute, or out-of-state move. Further, an ADAM attorney will give the man a better understanding of what life may be like after your matter has concluded by reviewing the facts of your case and how the law applies.

By consulting with an ADAM attorney, you will understand what may lie ahead for you. Whether your initial consultation leads you to believe that the court’s involvement is your best option or if it helps you see how you can improve your personal situation, it’s the first step you can take towards peace of mind with having clarity and a solid understanding of the law and how the law affects you.


To schedule your initial consultation with an experienced men’s family law attorney, call ADAM today at (810) 244-2326.
